Green beans are a popular backyard garden crop because they are easy to sow, easy to grow and produce an abundant harvest. A bush bean variety called ‘Jade’ produces consistently long, straight, stringless pods that are tender and sweet with a beautiful, very dark green color. The upright, bushy ‘Jade’ plants hold the pods high so the beans don’t curl or develop tip rot. In addition to being very productive, the plants have good disease resistance to common bean mosaic viruses and are tolerant to rust. Bush Bean ‘Jade’ is a fast-maturing variety, going from sowing to harvest in just 60 days.
